They are bottled at the same places that bottle Coca-Cola. If those places stop paying for their Coca-Cola brand license because nobody is buying it... then okay? so what?

Or, now that someone's reverse-engineered the Coca-Cola formula and everyone's saying we need to stop pandering to USA IP rights, governments have the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever. I think Russia already did.

Call all the dissidents terrorists and arrest/deport them under terrorism law

Fraud is legal now. In the USA, at least.

Also, most Reddit users are AI.

Isn't this the design idea behind ATProto?

Which is why they're illegal. Governments don't like being threatened.

Name three currently existing democracies. USA is out (protests illegal), Europe is out (protests require registration which is denied for anything that has a risk of effecting change), the Middle East and Asia are out for obvious reasons. Maybe there's a democracy somewhere in Africa?

They are.

So nonfunctional tech, tech that hurts everyone who uses it, and nonfunctional tech that hurts everyone who uses it? That's what they'll be missing out on?

Everything they say is about us vs them and the reason something is bad is because they did it and the reason something is good is because we did it

"oh, I must have lost it. Since you're claiming it's worth one dollar, here's a fiver, keep the change"

The word Office no longer appears on office.com.

If LLMs are good at writing software, then there's lots of good software around written by LLMs. Where is that software? I don't see it. Logical conclusion: LLMs aren't good at writing software.

Collectivism killed hundreds of millions of people, so I'll take individualism thanks.

They mean more immigrants live in certain neighbourhoods.

Office doesn't exist any more. Product suite was renamed to Copilot 365.

Always wondered what happened to the era of IDEs actually knowing the language you're using.

Dark mode if your screen brightness is way too high. Light mode if it isn't.

Isn't it interesting how the warming target is always a few tenths of a degree above the current level of warming?

This is like, the least bad thing GNOME have ever done. Middle-click pasting makes no logical sense and only exists as a holdover from before copy-paste conventions were established. Nobody would design it this way today.

There's a clear pattern where comments containing certain words are flagged much more often than comments containing mildly cens-red versions of those words. Could be HN itself but if we assume HN isn't lying about how its algorithm works (a big assumption) then it must be user flag bots.

It's not just my comments - you see something similar with headlines on the front page that contain certain names like El-n M-sk. They will accumulate hundreds of points and comments and then be cens-red.

I'm not sure you understand the situation here. Everything I don't like is left-wing.

That is a non-answer.

What do they produce?

Same. Anyone who defends a red coloured party, after red coloured parties did so much damage in the past, is obviously a monster.

What would you call the current surveillance hellscape and inhumane processes in the USA? Is that full-on communism?

The USA doesn't literally prevent you from leaving, but it uses its unique control of the global banking system to still tax you when you move to another country.

Political buzzword du jour: every dictatorship ever.

You know there isn't an ideology called collectivism, right?
